ID3v2 TAG bug

If you use only ID3v1, it work fine, but if the file have ID3v1 and ID3v2 and the option "Support ID3v2" is active it dosen't work.
The only frames work is TRCK. The Frame TRCK is read form file and show in the playlist editor. The other tag ( Titile, Artist, Album, Year, Genre ) is set to '' ( nothing ).

I must turn off the option ( "Support ID3v2" ) to see the information ( from ID3v1 when present )....

I have a lot of MP3s have both ID3v1 and ID3v2. I Try to enable ID3v2 ( Option -> "Supporto ID3v2" ) but when i do this in the Playlist ( and in the main window ) only the Track is set, the other are clear... I mean in the ID3v2 the Tilte is set but Coolplayer don't read that... of course when ID3v2 support is on, the ID3v1 don't work... so if i want to read the title of songs i must turn off ID3v2 suport...

You say the "the user interface are not unicode compatible". I know it, for example the skin have only a litle set of char ( 0..9, a..z, A..Z and some special char like @ ) why you don't use a map function like:

I'm Italian i have some charter not displayed with my system ( for example the char "è", It means "is" ) but i prefer view a 90% of the title ( or more: if the title is "Oggi è una bella giornata" i will be see "Oggi X una bella gironata" it is better the see "", you don't belive? ).

For other user ( russian, japanes ecc ) they don't see anithing with both system so they arent solution.

Of course if coolplayer have a real suport of UTF-8 is better, but... the skin can be realy Unicode compatible? I don't think... in this moment there is 102,012 code points are assigned in the Unicode... you image a image used ad skin with this big charset?

you make a good point about the skin being unicode compatible.
and instead of using workarounds i think it might actually be best
to leave coolplayer in its current state and only fix bugs.
leave the design decisions in.

my music player, which is unreleased at the moment will be
a native user interface and support unicode from the start.
this may be better for you when it is released.

Isn't Winamp's skin Unicode compatible? Can't the same be done with CoolPlayer?

By the way, thanks for spending time for fixing Coolplayer's bugs. I still like it the most. Players are now getting bigger and bigger all the time just to do the same task, play audio files/streams.
Just don't make it big and bloated, please.
